Pirates unveil baseball's freshest look with 1979 throwback uniforms

mlb.com

The Pirates are honoring arguably the greatest look in Major League history this season as they're bringing back the gold pullover jersey, black pants with two gold stripes running down the outside of each leg and a pillbox cap, with three gold stripes and a gold Pirates "P." It's the style that the team wore from 1977-84, including the 1979 World Series champion Bucs.

"The 1979 uniforms have always been widely popular with our fans and we believe this is the right complement to our existing uniform collection," Pirates president Frank Coonelly said in a statement. "Every season we strive for ways to pay tribute to the great teams of our past. This is a unique opportunity for the organization to recognize the 1979 World Series champions."

The team will be wearing the gorgeous throwbacks on Sunday home games in 2016, making that the best time travel story this side of "Back to the Future."

Sunday home games only? Should be all home games. That look is too cool.

I can't figure out why some pics display after you find them, but only on the browser which you saw them.

I'll take a wild guess and suggest that it has something to do with the file type.

Try copying and putting a www in front of this and pasting it into your address bar and see if you can go there.
